Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I had this happen with my jeep. I found it across the street in my neighbor's yard, thankfully it was stopped by their tree. Otherwise it would be in their house. Luckily the only damage was a bent spare tire carrier. I quickly fixed that by bending it back.

If you're looking for a MK I rear bumper, I have a factory one in black lying around in my garage. It does have a 2 inch crack but I'm told it can be repaired. PM me if your interested.

Oh, and me personally, I'd go with the MK I Aero kit. It's a bit costly but in my biased opinion, it's the best looking.

Pete

I ordered a set of gemballa smoked taillights and need some help finding a rear bumper.. Any ideas on where to look???? Even considering a full body kit since i will be painting! If anyone has had the same problem i now have an extra taillight! (driver side)

You should teach that tree a lesson, cut it up and send it to me. I will send you some of the BBQ I smoke with it.

I did consider the aero kit only, im really inlove with the gt2 wing! But always open to good suggestions!
i'm not so shure about that my man, i'm a ASE master tech been working on cars for over 13years and never seen clutch issues cause by that. Still i always put my car in gear (2nd gear) accept when parked in my garage. You know it could be worst like, it could roll down the slope and take out another car or even your kid as mine would always be play'n in the driveway! For a possible chance of damaged to the clutch that's not proven and someone possibly getting hurt well i'll take that chance my friend!! Hey, i'm just say'n!!

Sorry to Hear

That sucks. I'm sorry for your hardship. I was at a PCA event and didn't realize that I was on a slight incline and the car rolled forward...slowly. Until the splitter made a terrible crunch sound against a parking barrier.

Fortunately, no damage except my ego. There were lots of car enthusiasts standing around.

You only go through it once, dude. Good luck with the repair.
